2. Did you make it to Beaverton City Park on Saturday morning to watch Ten Tiny Dances? Hundreds of spectators gathered to see the ten innovative performances, which took place on a 4-foot by 4-foot stage. Click over to the article to see a photo album of the highlights. (OregonLive)

5. Read about the Beaverton School District's efforts to keep kids learning through the summer at OregonLive (subscription). BSD's Camp Achieve offers three extra weeks of instruction to as many as 3,400 students, with 70 teachers hired to staff the sessions.

From my notebook:

• The weather is heating up, things are drying out, and fire season is here. Beaverton City Government reminds folks to keep fire safety in mind when you're spending time in the great outdoors: "Getting together with friends and family this weekend? With dry weather and warmer temps, the risk of fire danger is still out there. Be sure to be fire safe as you have fun. Use extra caution with barbeque grills and find alternatives to fireworks." (Beaverton City Government via Facebook)
